America's greatest football award, the Heisman Tro­ phy awarded annually to the outstanding college player of the year, was won by Angelo Bartolo Bertelli of Notre Dame. Bert, who played in but six games this campaign polled 648 votes to walk away from his nearest com­ petitor, Bob Odell of Pennsylvania with 177.

Thus. Bertelli has completed the most outstanding record ever compiled in winning the award. As a sopho­ more in 1941, he was second to Michigan's Tom Harmon and last fall finished fourth when Georgian Frankie Sinkwich was feted by the Downtown Athletic Club of New York.

The Springfield Rifle, as the nation's sports writers demonstrated by their vote, was in a class by himself in the national gridiron spotlight of 1943. One of the great­ est passers in pigskin history, Ange was the life blood of the Fighting Irish 'T' formation. Feeding, faking, fling­ ing—^the light skinned Italian was the smoothest opera­ tor back of center in the country. Calling plays with deftness and subtlety seldom found in amateur ball, he was a coach on the field. Though his own slender right arm packed the brawniest knockout punch in collegi­ ate competition, Bert magnified its potency by using it sparsely. Dubbed by observers the Magnificent Faker— the buggy whip attack of the Notre Dame 'T,' that was born in his quick hands, developed into the most feared in football. Bertelli in Action
